Mae'r cwestiwn a'r ateb yn Saesneg gan nad oes fersiwn Gymraeg ar gael.
Following comments made on 14 May 2021, will the First Minister outline the exact timeframe for the issuing in Wales of both paper-based and NHS app-based vaccine passports?
Ateb
Atebwyd gan First Minister (Mark Drakeford)
As I announced on 14 May from Monday 24 May, a paper-based vaccination status certificate will be available for people in Wales who have had two doses of vaccination and need to urgently travel to a country that requires ovid vaccination proof. A telephone number for this service will be available from 00:01 on Monday 24 May.
We are working closely with the UK government on how Welsh citizens can access the NHS-app based covid status certificates. However we were informed by UK Government that it was not possible to do this ahead of 17 May and we are awaiting more detail from them on timescales.
The Welsh Government continues to advise people to only travel abroad for essential purposes.
